nOuncing him for rejoicing at the
result of the Chicago municipal
election and demanding that ne

stated there was not word of truth in

publication is q sufficient indication of
its untruthfulness. "If the Knights have
quarrels or any grievances against their
officers they do not rush into print.
They have their own courses, and their
charges will be brought up in

in this county have been making all sorts
Of moves to gain admission into the

DROWNED IN THE MISSISSIPPTs
Seven People Known to Have Perished.
Uncertainty Regarding Others

Seven People Known to Have Persisted.
Uncertainty Regarding Others
NEW ORLEANS, La, May "a serious
accident occurred yesterday afternoon N
the Third district resulting in the death
of seven people. A large crowd mad
gathered on the levee to witness bsptis-
NAL ceremonies under the auspices of Nit.
Zion Baptist church, (colOred.) The
wharf at that particular point extends out
into deep water where the current IS
swift and dangerous. A large crowd as
sembled on the wharf when IN the midst
of the exercises the railing surrounding
the wharf gave way, precipitating fully
fifty people into the Mississippi river.
Many ships were anchored near by and
the work of rescuing the drowning peO-
pie began. Seven persons are known 70
have been lost and it is thought that
from five to eight more persisted. Among
the lost were two women, one white and
one cOlored. Each had q baby in her
arms when they fell into the muddy
stream. Both came to the surface
shrieking and lifting their babies above
their heads. Strangely enough both
children were safely rescued by parties in
the skiffs, but both mothers were
drowned. Their bodies have been re-.
covered
